Blah Blah Blah

You can make it a Daniel Robert Epstein Tuesday with a trio of his comics related interviews at SuicideGirls.com.

"They told me that their print shops are in the south and people would be offended by it. One printer told me that they didn't do these things in the 1930's and they weren't going to do it now. I did have some contact with a mob connected printer but their prices didn't make any sense." -- Photographer Bob Adelman on getting his Tijuana Bibles: Art and Wit in America's Forbidden Funnies, 1930s-1950s printed, found via Great Curve.

image"I decided that if I was going to spend all that time doing something it should be something that really matters to me and not just another superhero or science fiction book. So what is something I feel passionate about that would make a good story? I thought that the stuff that happened in my past was something that had a feeling and a mood." -- Dave Gibbons on the genesis of his project The Originals.

"I first decided to do them when I was living in New York City in the mid 70s. I was in a bookstore and I just picked up the Oscar Wilde fairy tales, which I hadn't even heard of. I was familiar with his work of course but I just thought those stories would make excellent comic books. But it still took me 17 years to even begin it." -- P. Craig Russell, on making comics of Oscar Wilde's fairy stories.
